Products of Brauer-Severi surfaces

Abstract: Let

{P_{i}}_{1 l e q i l e q r}

and

{Q_{i}}_{1 l e q i l e q r}

be two collections of Brauer Severi surfaces (resp. conics) over a field

k

. We show that the subgroup generated by the

{P_{i}}^{'} s

in

B r (k)

is the same as the subgroup generated by the

{Q_{i}}^{'} s

iff

P i P_{i}

is birational to

P i Q_{i}

. Moreover in this case

P i P_{i}

and

P i Q_{i}

represent the same class in

M (k)

, the Grothendieck ring of

k

-varieties. The converse holds if

c h a r (k) = 0

. Some of the above implications also hold over a general noetherian base scheme.
